Hey mate, the heater arrived, cables and all! Score! Thanks a heap for sending it, looked like a pain to wrap for posting! Today I took the brake master cylinder out to be sent away for re-sleeving, plus I disconnected the brake booster to respray. I also started removing the dash, and the wiring is a bit of a jungle underneath. I do this sort of work on aircraft, but have a few connectors that were not connected to anything - can anyone identify what they used to go to?  Unidentified Plug 1  Unidentified Plug 2  Unidentified Plug 3  Lots of fun to be had under the dash, that's for sure.

Under dash wiring was one of the many things on my to do list with this car that I never got around to. Somewhere down the track it's been butchered by somebody! So I take my hat off to you for having the courage to tackle it hahaha. Good stuff mate!

Hey dude, it's just a replacement fuse box from repco or something like that. When I got the car it already had the standard fuse box removed and replaced with inline bulb type fuses that looked like spaghetti and weren't labelled or anything. So I ditched them and just put that fuse box in but left it in the cabin rather than messing up the engine bay.

Cheers. I was quoted $180, to be resleeved in stainless steel, should last approximately forever. quote:

Cool! Just got a call from the brake place, apparently the master cylinder had already been re-sleeved and just needed a seal, good as new now, for very little cashes. Score!

No way that's awesome! That must have been done about a month after I got the car, because I sent it in to get the brakes overhauled and it cost a fortune, but I was only 16 then so I didn't care to look at the receipt to see what was done, so that would explain the hefty price tag hahaha. Nice one! So I guess you'd be pleased that you don't have to spend heaps of money on something that's being changed eventually anyway!

Also...rsqme, the door cards are based on stock GL ones, but they are screw in as well as being clip in. Short strip of vinyl across the top, then some neat squared pattern cloth then more vinyl. Still retains the standard handles and arm rest. This is the best picture I could find, it's about 3 - 4 years old, but you get the idea.  I'm sorry for hijacking your thread all the time Tim, I need to let go of this car! [B)]

Those plugs I believe are for console/dash switchs that you may or may not have like rear screen, lighter, hazards and low/high beam on the dash lights. Could be wrong.
Great car and pic!!
